What is chartered status?
Chartered status is a mark of distinction awarded to those who have demonstrated true excellence, innovation and impact within their field.
A chartered member or fellow meets the sector standards with qualifications, experience and expertise that underpin their multiple areas of discipline and outstanding competencies. You have been assessed to confirm a thorough understanding and demonstration of your wide-ranging capabilities.
Why is chartered status important?
Chartered status is valued by employers throughout the UK. Your knowledge and skills are rediscovered through the chartered assessment, meaning not only will you discover your strengths and weaknesses, but as a chartered professional you’ll be highly sought after by employers. The eligibility criteria have been curated to ensure chartered professionals are the best that the sector has to offer.
